Join us today with Harmony Slater, a distinguished spiritual wellness business and life coach, as she unveils the secrets to harmonizing Eastern philosophies with Western practices.
Harmony's insights are drawn from her extensive experiences in India and Thailand on integrating Ashtanga yoga and spiritual disciplines into daily life and business.
Whether you're struggling with entrepreneurial challenges or seeking personal growth, her innovative approach combining yoga and spinal energetics can help address deep-seated somatic and subconscious barriers.
Harmony delves into the power of breathwork, from pranayama to holotropic breathing, illustrating how these practices can rewire our neural pathways and shift us from scarcity to abundance. She even shares a short exercise on how to connect to one million dollars!
Harmony's exploration of physical and emotional release leads us to understand the profound impact of somatic practices on our healing journey.
By embracing methods like spinal energetics, we unlock the potential for cathartic release and a renewed flow of energy.

Harmony (01:56):
Thank you, I'm doing great.
How are you doing, amanda?
Amanda (01:59):
Amazing, amazing.
So we just learned that we'reboth mountain girls.
Harmony (02:04):
she's up in Canada the Rocky Mountain team here on the
podcast today.
Amanda (02:10):
That's right, guys, the Rocky Mountain chicks, let's go.
Rocky Mountain high baby okayso, harmony, tell us a little
bit about you.
Where just more about your work, maybe your story?
Let's just kind of dive rightin.
I'm so curious to learn more.
Sure.
Harmony (02:28):
Yeah, I mean it was interesting, it is very, I don't
know.
It felt like destiny to bedrawn into Spinal Energetics and
into this work, because Ireally resonated so much with Dr
Sarah Jane and her story,because it felt very similar to
my story as well.
I did a degree in religiousstudies focused on Buddhism, did
(02:51):
a degree in philosophy and evenjust before I I mean I
graduated but I didn't go to mygraduation I took off to India
to go, live in India for fourmonths.
Then I moved to Thailand.
Oh, you went to Thailand to golive in India for four months.
Amanda (03:06):
Then I moved to Thailand .
Oh, you went to Thailand.
Yeah, where in Thailand?
Where in?
Harmony (03:08):
Thailand were you.
I lived on Koh Samui.
Amanda (03:11):
Oh, I love Koh Samui, so we went back twice, both for
four weeks at a time to Koh PingYang, the island right above,
yeah.
Harmony (03:21):
I know Koh Ping Yang, oh, so cool.
So I spent a lot of time inasia and then, from thailand, I
could travel back and forthbetween india and thailand,
because it's only a five-hourflight and the flights are cheap
.
So I'd go and spend, you know,six months, four months, six
months, however long I couldmanage in india studying and
practicing yoga and studyingmore philosophy and sans
(03:43):
Sanskrit and chanting andpranayama and breathwork and
everything.
Amanda (03:48):
So cool, so please tell me if I'm saying this correctly
it's Ashtanga yoga.
Yes, ashtanga yoga, ashtanga.
Okay, I'll work on that, butcan you tell us a little bit
more about what that is.
Harmony (04:02):
Yeah, so I mean Ashtanga means eight limbs and
it comes this word comes fromthe Patanjali Yoga Sutras, which
is an ancient text on yogawritten by Patanjali around the
turn of the century.
But this particular style ofyoga that's branded Ashtanga
Yoga even though you can'treally brand something that
because the terms already beenused comes from Patabi Joyce,
(04:33):
who was a guru or a teacher inMysore, india.
So he was there teaching, andnow his grandson, sharath Joyce,
is there still teaching classesand has an institute where you
can go and study and learn andpractice.
Amanda (04:44):
Wow, and you've been doing this for 25 years, yeah, a
long time, okay.
So you know your shit, you knowwhat's up.
Harmony (04:53):
It's kind of been like my entire life.
Amanda (04:57):
Amazing, amazing, and you teach it as well for other
people to become this type ofyoga instructor.
Harmony (05:04):
Yeah, I used to do teacher trainings.
I don't do teacher trainings somuch anymore because I sort of
have some other interests, youknow like spinal energetics or
kind of fill us in a little bit.
Amanda (05:16):
What do you do now?
Harmony (05:17):
Yeah, like spinal energetics, which I love, and I
feel like this is a reallyhealing modality.
I think it blends really wellwith yoga.
But also I do more like life andbusiness coaching for spiritual
entrepreneurs or, you know,women who want to build their
business and kind of help themdo that, because I used to own
two yoga studios and then now Ibasically, when I do teach, I
(05:40):
travel and teach internationally, workshops and retreats, so
that's where you would find meteaching yoga.
I have an online membership andthen do coaching online as well
.
Wow, basically like both anin-person and online business.
Amanda (05:55):
Okay.
So it's interesting because Istarted out life and business
coaching and now I'm doing moreof like the healing work.
Now I'm so curious, like doingboth with it.
Have you found that the missinglink, especially for like
entrepreneurs this is just frommy own experience, like people
(06:17):
that are struggling with mindsetor just they're struggling to
succeed and just grow theirbusiness that a lot of times
it's more a somatic problem,perhaps something within the
body, something they're holdingonto subconsciously, something
that they're wired.
I'd love to hear from you kindof your take and like yeah, 100%
(06:38):
.
Harmony (06:38):
So the way that I mostly do coaching is very
similar.
You would love it because it'svery similar to spinal
energetics.
You know where you're workingwith the layers.
So we have sorry, we have ourphysical body and then you know
an emotional body, a mental body, spiritual body, personal soul.
Well, also when I like when I'mcoaching, I use different tools
(07:04):
.
So there's like mindset toolsthis is more like questioning
your thoughts or your beliefs.
Emotional mastery tools, sothat's like really tuning into
the feeling, and mostly thathappens through the somatic
awareness, so like where we'reholding pains in our body or
different sensations.
When you kind of go into adeeper meditative state and be
(07:26):
with those sensations, oftenthere's a message there for you
or a memory or a feeling andthen allowing that feeling,
tapping into that feelingthrough the sensation.
So using a somatic presencing totap into the emotional body, to
let the emotional body comethrough and then meeting it with
(07:48):
essence or presence or love oracceptance, so that you can
really let it kind of diffuse,let that energy move through the
body and diffuse.
Then the unconscious block orthe upper limitation starts to
go away and then your energy isclear and can move freely.
(08:08):
So I find they work really welltogether, because with the
spinal energetics you can dothat without necessarily talking
about it.
Whereas with coaching.
You're more talking about itand giving it words and language
.
Amanda (08:22):
Yeah, so true, I think they compliment each other so
beautifully.
I personally haven't coached asmuch because I have just found
the spinal energetics just doesit.
It does the coaching for mesometimes.
But there I feel like coachingstill has its place for sure.
That is so awesome and socomprehensive, like it just
(08:44):
feels very complete.
Just kind of tap into.
All of.
That kind of reminds me of howto manifest, right.
It's not just uh in the mind,but getting into the body and
feeling the emotion behind whatit is that you want to create,
right.
I don't know if you do a lot ofmanifestation.
Yeah, it's too.
Harmony (09:01):
Yeah, totally, totally and I mean, what kind of drew me
into this work was because I'dbeen in the yoga field for so
long and worked with manystudents and teachers of yoga
and very, very dedicatedpractitioners, even within
myself.
Because you do a really intense, because Ashtanga Yoga is quite
(09:25):
an intense yoga practice.
It's a dynamic kind of vinyasaflow-based practice, but it has
a bit of a structure around itwhere you're supposed to do it
six days a week.
You follow the same sequence.
It's quite hardcore, and so youyeah, so the students really
dive into this practice.
Often you would think thatthey'd be really connected to
(10:07):
their body and their nervoussystem, but almost sometimes it
takes them a little bit longerbecause of this sort of
disconnect that's happening,this mind-body dichotomy, rather
than this integration.
It's like doing such intensethings to your body and I don't
know I haven't worked with any,like you know, athletes like
(10:30):
marathon runners or like reallyactive people, but it might be a
similar kind of thing where youfeel?
Amanda (10:35):
like it is yeah.
Harmony (10:36):
Yeah, so intense with your body that you you almost
kind of have to dissociate alittle bit from it because you
can't allow yourself to reallyfeel that deeper kind of
vibration or that sort of levelof trauma that you're inflicting
on yourself to get the resultsyou want.
Amanda (10:55):
Yeah, you definitely have to create safety first
right Like it's.
It's, I think, dissociation,that free state.
I mean I had two clients thismorning who were both thawing
out from a free state andfeeling for the first time in
(11:15):
their feet and their hands.
They're like, oh, I didn't knowthat sensation.
Was there Interesting?
Harmony (11:21):
Yeah, yeah, interesting , yeah, yeah, and it's so
interesting to see, like to seethat sort of awareness drop into
the body at deeper layers andlevels.
Amanda (11:35):
That's incredible.
That's incredible, okay.
So I don't mean to like cut youoff on your story, so kind of
like going back.
So so you went to India, youbecame an Ashtanga.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Ashtanga yoga teacher .
Amanda (11:52):
Um, back in, it looks like 2006, and then you began
traveling and teachinginternationally.
Tell us about what's.
What else has been going onsince then?
Yeah, so you told us about theworkshops and the retreats and
stuff yeah, so that's mostly.
Harmony (12:06):
What I'm doing now is traveling internationally
between like 2006, when Ireceived authorization there's
sort of authorization which islevel one, and then
certification, which is an evenmore in-depth process of having
to spend at least 10 yearspracticing at this specific
institute under the the sort ofmentorship or lineage of patavi
(12:28):
joyce or charotte joyce now um,but I went and moved back to
canada and moved to the westcoast and opened a yoga school
there and gave birth to my son.
So that was like a wholejourney into motherhood and
running a business, a brick andmortar business, and teaching,
and you know that's where wewere doing a lot of the teacher
(12:50):
trainings and different.
Amanda (12:52):
What was that like?
I'm not a mother?
Well, I have dogs, but thatdoesn't count.
Some argue yes to that.
Thank you.
I just never want to offendlike a mom.
So I'm like so what was thatlike building a business and
being a mother?
I mean, you seem like a jack ofall trades because you do the
(13:14):
yoga, you do breath work toretreat spinal energetics,
coaching, life like everything.
You just do everything.
What is?
Harmony (13:22):
that like yeah, I'm kind that like putting it all
into one, one thing now like aholistic kind of package to help
people but yeah, I mean being a.
I mean, oh man, it's a.
It's a paradigm shift.
I don't know how else toexplain it.
You know, you think that you'reselfless, or you're spiritual,
(13:43):
or you know you're on the pathto enlightenment, and then all
you have to do is have a childand reality hits you in the face
oh god yeah, you realize like,oh, the world doesn't revolve
around me, and even though Ididn't think that I thought the
world revolved around me, Ireally know now that it revolves
(14:04):
around this other little being,because it feels like your
heart is existing outside ofyour body.
You know?
So you just you kind of?
Start circling the orbit ofsomeone else, which is beautiful
because it really is the mostpurest form of love and selfless
service and just like devotionreally, and so how has
(14:28):
motherhood taught you inbusiness?
Yeah, yeah, I mean, I thinkrunning a business and being a
mother is challenging, but alsoit gives a lot of energy to your
business because you're notjust doing it for yourself now.
Apartment and you know eatingrice and beans and avocado and
just like obsessed about my own.
You know spiritual practice anddevelopment, trying to create
(15:04):
the conditions of a monastery asbest as I could.
Amanda (15:07):
You know I swear, my dogs live better than I do.
I get it.
You want, yeah, you want tohave that place for your loved
ones, yeah.
Harmony (15:17):
Yeah, yeah.
But when you have a family or achild or you know dependents,
then you know they need things.
You can't really just likeexpect your son or your daughter
to live in a monastery whenthey're 10 or 12 years old and
want to explore the world and doactivities, and as a parent,
you really want to give themthose opportunities too, right?
(15:38):
So it gives a different kind offuel and passion to the work
that you're doing.
Amanda (15:46):
Real quick.
I'd like to express myheartfelt gratitude to all the
listeners of this podcast.
Your support means the world tome.
As you're aware, a stellarrating plays a vital role, not
just for the podcast success,but also in our collective
mission as change.
Makers.
By awarding us five stars, youempower us to continue spreading
love, knowledge, support andguidance to people worldwide.
(16:08):
Please take a brief moment togive this podcast a five-star
rating.
Thank you immensely Cool.
Yeah, I love that you're sayingthat because I feel like that's
a beautiful perspective being amother, because I used to hear
a lot of how I never have time,I have no energy to be working
(16:29):
on my business, and you took theopposite approach to it and it
fueled your business.
It gave you that energy tosucceed because he was your
reason from what it sounds like.
Harmony (16:43):
Yeah, totally yeah, yeah.
How old is he now?
Now he's almost 14.
Oh my God.
Wow, that's incredible so itshifts and it changes too.
Amanda (16:54):
Yeah, when they're.
Harmony (16:55):
when they're young, it requires a lot of kind of
intense focus, and then, whenthey get older, you have your
life come back to you in its ownway.
Amanda (17:07):
Amazing, amazing.
So you do breath work as well,and can you tell us a little bit
more about what type of breathwork that is?
Harmony (17:41):
Yeah, so mostly I started off with a pranayama
practice and can you tell us alittle bit more about what type
of breath work that is?
Pitwari practicing pranayama,which is long, slow breathing
with retentions, either at thetop or the bottom of an inhale
or an exhale, and practicinglearning the traditional methods
that were passed down throughhis teacher and his lineage,
which is at the KavalyadamInstitute in La Navala, india,
and that's mostly what I use tohelp people regulate their
nervous system.
But in the last five years I'vebeen diving a little bit more
(18:05):
into holotropic breathing, whichis the fast pace, either
three-part breath or just in andout, which I like to also use.
I think it goes really wellwith the spinal energetics.
So I like to incorporate alittle bit of that at the
beginning of a session,especially online, because what
it does is it actually shuts offthe prefrontal cortex.
(18:27):
Yeah, so it like down,regulates the prefrontal cortex.
You move more into your bodyand into your energy and so,
even though it's not a practicethat I personally would
recommend doing every day,because when you're breathing
that fast inhalation andexhalation in and out of your
mouth it can actually it causeslike a little bit of stress in
your body, right, but it's goodstress, but maybe not if you're
(18:51):
doing it every day.
Then it might become cumulativestress every day, then it might
become cumulative stress, soit's good for a
little like a little kick in thebutt, exactly, exactly Like a
little reset like a littlenervous system reset or a kick
in the butt, or yeah, like alittle intervention you know,
yeah, okay, yeah, yeah.
(19:12):
But then on a regular basis.
I would recommend doing more ofthe pranayama breathing which
is, you know, people now, Ithink, are more familiar with
this type of breath work.
You know, alternate nostrilbreathing or box breathing, or
just inhaling and exhaling andlengthening the exhale resonance
breathing.
There's many different types ofsort of long, slow breathing
(19:37):
exercises that are reallyhelpful for regulating the
nervous system.
Amanda (19:42):
Amazing and I saw here like you can use this breath
work to access connection toabundance.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Yeah, how do you do?
Amanda (19:52):
that Talk to us.
I'm sure everybody's like earsare peeled peeled right now like
tell us, how can we use thisbreath, breath work.
Harmony (20:01):
Wow, I can't talk tonight yeah, I love your light
language, thanks, but yeah, Ithink it's you know.
I think what happens is we getstuck in those patterns in our
(20:25):
brains, right?
Amanda (20:30):
Our neural networks get fixed and we know this right.
Harmony (20:32):
Like the scarcity patterns, no-transcript neural
(21:26):
network, and it opens up yourperception to see alternate
perspectives and alternatethings you know that you
wouldn't see normally or youwouldn't be open to normally.
And so when you are doing eithera pranayama practice regularly,
which is really tapping intoyour prana or your life force,
(21:47):
your energy, and starting tobecome quite acquainted with it
in your body, or you do evenholotropic breathing, is that
intervention?
It shuts down that part of yourbrain that is used to being in a
particular pattern and movesinto more of the limbic system
and the nervous system, the partwhere you know the autonomic
(22:10):
nervous system, and starts towake it up a little bit and
bring in some fresh you knowcirculation or create new neural
networks, new neuralconnections, so that when you
finish and then you'reintegrating, there's like more
flow happening, more things arebeing connected at a neural
(22:31):
level but also even in yourenergy.
But also even in your energyand that's why people you know
in spinal energetics or after abreathwork session will feel
like so expansive because theirmind has literally been open
right, like things that didn'tconnect before are now
connecting and so there's thatgreater sense of awareness and
(22:56):
the patterns that maybe thebrain was stuck in have been
disrupted, and so there's moreopportunity.
More possibility is just rightthere, like physically, in
manifestation as well, becausemanifesting is really to me,
(23:19):
it's really just being open tosee what's already there.
And the problem is, we don't seeit you know we don't see it,
because we only see what we'reexpecting or what we're used to
seeing, or what we're predictingto see.
And so the more we are able tokind of recognize that time is
an illusion, space is also anillusion, you know, physical
(23:44):
beings are also an illusion,physical things are also an
illusion, that it's all justenergy, then we can like feel
that connection and draw thingstowards us or move towards them
more easily.
Amanda (23:59):
So well said, and I love how you brought the science in.
I mean, if that doesn't provethe St Lulu, I don't know what
else is.
Harmony (24:09):
I mean, I'm not a scientist, but I do.
You know, I'm like apseudoscientist.
I like to study neurology andneuropsychology and things
because, it's so interesting.
Amanda (24:21):
Oh, it's so powerful, it's so good.
I mean, it's so true, though,on every level, everything that
you just shared, and it feelsvery similar to how spinal
energetics works.
Right, because I feel like alot of perspectives shift and
rewind and re-listen to how thatactually works within the brain
and the nervous system and thebody is one and yeah, so
(24:45):
powerful.
Really, essentially, the brainis opening up from what you're
sharing here.
Harmony (24:50):
Yeah, I read something today too, that the spinal cord
transmits messages at a speed ofsomething like 268 miles per
hour.
Huh, like the how fast theneurons move really those
electrical impulses from ourbrain to our spinal cord.
(25:11):
That's like, yeah, it was, itwas insane, I was insane, I was
like that's crazy to think about.
We have like nerve impulsesmoving through our spinal cord
at that speed.
Woo, yeah, it's amazing.
Amanda (25:26):
Lightning.
That's incredible.
I did not know that.
Thanks for the fun fact.
Harmony (25:31):
I just read it today I was like that's really that's
going to take me a bit to wrapmy head around.
Amanda (25:38):
I love it.
I love it.
Harmony (25:39):
Okay, so even for you, like in your work with people
and clients, I mean, I thinkit's so amazing when you are
working with someone on the, youknow, on a table or wherever,
on the floor, on a couch and andthey're having like those
tremor shakes and they're in adeep, altered state of you know
(26:03):
what might be meditation or sortof different brain waves and
they're so tuned into their bodybut their body's also releasing
in quite an intense way andafter there's like a visible
shift in how they look, how theyfeel like yeah, I mean like
(26:27):
what?
how?
How do you describe that?
How do you explain that topeople?
Amanda (26:31):
I'm just thinking of a client this morning like just
kept getting stuck in the solar,like over there in the lower
part of the spine, and then wejust lifted her hips up and then
literally, I mean, you know howyou can feel the energy in the
room and like, if it's, you know, good vibes, bad vibes it was
just like all of a sudden.
It was like instant relief.
I was like, ah, like, and youcould just see it like all their
(26:53):
muscles just relax, everythingjust looks like it's flowing
again, and even like the subtlechanges in their expression, in
their face, it's almost like alittle smile or all their facial
muscles are just like, ah, yeah, yeah, it's like a sigh of
relief, almost Totally.
Harmony (27:14):
Yeah, yeah, and I have some.
I mean mean and this is just atheory, but it's like a
curiosity around these patternsof releasing and how, like our
bodies also get stuck, just likeour brain gets stuck thinking
the same thoughts over and overand over again, but our bodies
also get stuck holding the samekind of like movement.
(27:37):
It's conditioned that way.
Amanda (27:38):
Yeah, depending on what one's been through.
I see it all the time in spinalenergetics client on the table
and you find the tension patternbeing stored in the body and
then they you know, in spinalenergetics you're pushing the
energy from anywhere in the bodyto that fixation point, to that
(27:58):
tension pattern, and whileyou're trying to move that
energy to that point, they willresist.
Their nervous system, if youwill, is conditioned to think
that's not safe, it's, it's,it's's like I don't know about
that, amanda, like I don't know.
(28:18):
This is just too much, right.
It just it's, it's, um, theunfamiliar right where we tend
to resist because we don't knowwhat's on the other side of it,
and but it ends up feeling verycathartic, right.
So, yeah, I see that resistanceall the time.
And so then it's likeinteresting, right when, when
(28:39):
somebody can, when that energyfinally moves and shifts and
that tension pattern clears,yeah, it opens up like an entire
different flow of energy oh,yeah, yeah, it's like a light
bulb goes off too, like it'sjust all these activations are
happening on a cellular DNAlevel and I see it like
(29:01):
sometimes I can actually likesee the energy happening and
it's just like lights going offinside the body, just like ding,
ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
Hello, abundance, baby, let'sgo.
Yeah, yeah.
Harmony (29:12):
Because it's really about flow right and connection,
and I think that I mean that'sso much of what we're trying to
(29:33):
do inside of ourselves.
This connection Is just createmore connection, create more
flow create more you know lessof this like heading and blocks
and tension patterns.
Amanda (29:45):
It is Well.
I feel like that's what healingis all about.
Right, healing, I feel like,kind of gives us this idea of
like you're releasing so muchstuff, but really it's about
connecting, reconnecting withyour highest frequency, your
truest self, your authentic,your gifts, your power,
everything about you.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Yeah, yeah.
Harmony (30:07):
Yeah, and I mean it's.
I love this because I thinkthat's also what coaching does.
You know, just like throughlanguage is with a client.
They I mean as a client or witha client.
You know we have places in ourlives and our thoughts and our
feelings, either with ourselvesor in our relationships, where
we're disconnected.
(30:39):
Go into, you know, the, theassumption of why someone is
going to be the way they'regoing to be, or you know those
are all places of disconnectionand so when you can work with
someone to uncover and have themlike, bring what is unconscious
because all these assumptionsare unconscious and all of these
ways of being and all of thesestories that we believe about
ourselves or others in the worldare mostly sitting in our
(31:00):
unconscious mind.
We, when we can bring itforward into the consciousness,
then we can see it and examineit or feel it and be with it,
and then we can createintegration and connection with
it and then, instead of it beinga place of disconnect, it gets
brought into the whole and thenwe have greater connection
(31:21):
within ourselves or in ourrelationships or in our lives.
Amanda (31:25):
Yeah, it changes everything around you Everything
.
Yeah, I'm curious, since we'reon the topic of abundance and
how to use breathwork to accessthat connection Do you get
clients that come to you like mygoal in business is to, I don't
know, make a million dollarsthis year.
What would be your step-by-stepbeat when it comes to this kind
(31:46):
of work?
Harmony (31:47):
Yeah, give me the 411.
Well, I mean, I guess, if youwanna create a million dollars,
my question would be well, why?
What's your motivation?
Yeah, do you want me?
Amanda (32:01):
to answer that yeah, Freedom right.
I think freedom is a big onefor most people because they
want the financial freedom,thinking it's going to give them
ease and calmness, like morepeace.
They won't have to worry andstress about money as much and
enjoy life more.
Harmony (32:22):
Yeah, okay.
So freedom, peace, calmness is.
Is the the reason why, or theessence of why, you want a
million dollars?
Okay?
So then I'd say and you can dothis right now because you
asked- Okay, let's do it.
Yes.
So if you just close your eyesand just take a nice deep breath
(32:47):
and as you exhale, just relax,just feel your energy, your
attention, where in your bodyyou can experience freedom right
now, when might there be asense of peace?
Speaker 3 (33:14):
Maybe it's just in your pinky finger, maybe it's in
your big toe, maybe it's inyour heart center, and just
breathe and allow that sense offreedom or peace Just expand and
(33:41):
grow, just move from cell tocell, so you feel as if your
whole energy is surrounded, justbeing held in a bubble, a
(34:05):
beautiful bubble of freedom,peace, and it's emanating from
within you and also you'rereceiving it around you.
You feel that in your body.
Amanda (34:26):
Oh yeah, I feel good, baby, yeah well, now that you
feel that yeah, you, you're freeI
mean, maybe, maybe you want amillion dollars, but you don't
need it yeah, oh, my god, I talkabout this all the time on the
(34:47):
podcast, how it's like I've hitso many different big financial
milestones in my business but itnever felt like enough, right.
And then I really tapped intolike okay, well, why?
And it's like, oh, because Iwant to fly first class or I
want to travel the world more.
I want the freedom, I want tobe able to buy things without
looking at the price tag.
And it's well, why do I wantall that?
(35:07):
And it's that feeling offreedom, it's that feeling of
peace.
And it's like well, why can't Ifeel that now?
You know, anybody can feel thatnow, anyone has access to the
feeling of freedom, calmness,security, right here, right now.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Yeah, nothing's going to change.
Harmony (35:24):
It's your essence, it is it's who you are, yeah, and
so the more we can like get intothat space of who we are, then
it's easier to create from thatplace too, right?
Amanda (35:38):
Oh yeah.
Harmony (35:39):
Because the goal isn't out there.
The goal is already presenthere, and so then we're free.
We're truly free to go for itif we want, but we also can go
for it with a sense ofplayfulness or lightness,
knowing that it doesn't reallymatter and we don't need it to
be happy or to be free, or toexperience peace because, that's
(36:00):
already who we are, and we canexperience that anytime we want.
Amanda (36:05):
Yeah, I swear I make the most money when I'm having a
good time.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
I know right, and then we forget and we're like oh
, it's so hard.
Amanda (36:13):
I know why do we?
Yeah, it's like I hate that.
It's like one of my worstfavorite sayings of like oh,
business is so hard, it's sodifficult, so difficult.
I'm like that's a perspectiveyou can have.
Fun.
Business is fun.
Business can feel easy.
Uh, like we're selling ourhouse right now.
We just closed the other dayand I don't feel stressed out at
(36:35):
all and I've sold many housesin my days and this is the first
time after doing so muchnervous system work where I it's
, I feel good, I feel excited, Ifeel free, like I'm just like I
don't know, I'm not likeworried about having to pack my
whole house this week.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
We're good, yeah yeah , you can do it.
Amanda (36:56):
Yeah, I have no idea where we're gonna live.
Like I'm like you know whateverything's gonna work out, I
don't know.
It's just a really cool senseof just feeling confident and
assured.
Harmony (37:08):
Um, I feel like this is the same, yeah testament to the
work that that you do and thatyou're doing for yourself, and
also the work that you'reoffering other people as well,
because we're alwaysco-regulating too right.
So yeah our clients come andthey co-regulate with us, but we
also create that space for theco-regulation.
(37:29):
So we have to kind of be inthat essence in order to
facilitate.
So yeah you know it's the workyou're doing on yourself, but
also holding the space for yourclients, too, is yeah also
helping you to.
You know, step into that yeahand own it.
Amanda (37:47):
I just had a vision of like everyone listening to this
episode right now.
They're gonna come back to you,harmony, in a year.
We're like, hey, I just had amillion dollars because they
just did that exercise every day.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Good send me a testimonial.
Yes, send the testimonials.
Amanda (38:02):
Let let's go.
You'll be hearing from me too.
Let's rock and roll.
Harmony (38:05):
Amazing Living in Montana.
Amanda (38:09):
Yeah, we'll see what happens.
Yeah, as of right now, we'renot going to Montana, but I was
joking with Harmony at thebeginning of this.
We're going up there for acouple of weeks to go hunting,
my husband and I, and we keepjoking like we may not come back
.
But but you never know, yeah,you never know.
(38:29):
Uh, wow, okay, so so you doretreats?
Oh wait, okay, 10 silent.
Vipa sauna, vipashna, oh God,wow, somebody put me in yoga
class please it's the sanskrit.
Harmony (38:50):
It's the sanskrit, and um no, I I mean that was another
thing that I really resonatedwith, uh dr sarah jane with was.
She's also a vipassanameditator and did a lot of
Vipassana silent retreats.
So it was.
It just felt like such a fitbecause when you're sitting
there for 10 days withouttalking to anyone, without
(39:14):
speaking, without writing,without reading, just meditating
for 10 hours a day.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
Oh, it is silent silent.
Harmony (39:21):
Yeah, and not even eye contact or any like physical
contact, like no communicationat all with anyone else.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
Wow.
Harmony (39:30):
And you're just doing yoga, you just sit and meditate,
that's oh, you sit and watchyour breath, so that's called
anapana meditation.
And then you observe yourenergy through subtle sensations
in the body.
Amanda (39:44):
Oh whoa, oh man.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
Yeah.
Amanda (39:47):
I'm already thinking like do I, could I do that?
Speaker 3 (39:51):
You totally could.
Amanda (39:53):
Well, I've worked my way up.
I was one of those meditatorsthat 10 seconds I'm out.
I'm much better now.
Yeah, like I can meditate forhours now, but 10 days.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
Yeah.
Harmony (40:08):
Wow yeah you go real deep.
Amanda (40:11):
Oh, I bet what's the experience like, for so you
teach this or you used to hostthese types of retreats.
Harmony (40:18):
Mostly I've just sat them, I mean.
I do teach some Vipassanameditation and I offer moon day
meditations, full and new moonmeditations in my Finding
Harmony community.
But, yeah, I don't do.
I don't typically offer thesilent retreats because it's a,
(40:38):
it's a lot for people Is it Okay.
And also I mean I feel likethere's a whole institute called
the Vipassana organization andthey have so many centers around
the world and it's all donationbased and I mean they just do
such a good job.
I just send people there.
(40:59):
Go sit there for 10 days if youwant.
Amanda (41:02):
Oh my gosh.
Okay, so, out of all of thesemodalities that you have under
your tool belt, what is yourfavorite?
Are you allowed to share afavorite Like what have you
found maybe to be the mosthelpful, most impactful?
Harmony (41:21):
I mean, what's interesting I think about them
all is they're all reallysomatic practices.
Yeah they're all really aboutregulating the nervous system,
but also tapping into energy andobserving the subtle energy
body, and so I feel like youknow, with the yoga you get so
(41:42):
far where you kind of are likeoh yeah, subtle energy body.
I kind of get that, but you'removing and you're breathing
while you're doing it, so themind can only get so refined.
And then with the pranayama itgets more refined because now
you're sitting in one place andyou're just using the breath, so
you get to go more deeper intoit.
(42:04):
And with meditation again,especially if you're doing a 10
day meditation, not just 10minutes your mind gets really
concentrated and so you reallyget acquainted with the energy
body.
So I think it's just differentlevels and layers and depending
on where a client is or where astudent is, you know they're
(42:27):
going to want to kind of eithergo deeper or be like oh, this is
good for me, I'm good up herewith the yoga right.
But typically I think at somepoint you start to want to go a
little bit deeper into thepranayama or the breath work and
then deeper into the meditationand the subtle energy body, and
(42:48):
I think spinal energetics is abeautiful way for people who
maybe, you know, don't have 20years to devote to, you know,
doing yoga and breath work andmeditation and doing all of
these somatic nervous system,you know, regulation practices.
I think it's a really effectiveway to shortcut the process,
(43:14):
because it's I don't know youjust drop into that meditative
state and your body, you can't,I don't know.
For me, in my experience as aclient, you can't help but
notice the subtle energy body,and I think all of my clients,
even if they're just like, oh, Ifeel really spacious.
(43:36):
I mean, that's your subtleenergy body, you know.
So the more you kind of areable to tap into it, the more
acquainted you get with it, andI think it's, I just feel like
it's so powerful.
So, yeah, kind of my newfavorite.
Speaker 3 (43:55):
I love it.
Amanda (43:57):
I love it.
I love it.
Yeah, I mean it's.
It's definitely my favorite,and there's nothing against any
of the other modalities.
They all have their place Right.
And I think it depends on theclient too, because, you know,
depending on what level they'reat in their healing journey or
what you know where they are intheir journey, maybe breath work
(44:17):
is the better option right now,Maybe yoga is the better option
right now.
You know, I don't think there'sany right or wrong or better
modality than the other, but Imean for me right now and
obviously for harmony you cantell what our favorites are
Harmony (44:37):
yeah, well, and I think it's.
I mean, there's something toolike yoga you could do every day
and yeah, you know, pranayamaor breathwork you can do every
day.
And because they're self kindof administered, say, right,
like you're, you're doing apractice to create a level of
regulation or a feeling of calmor connectedness in your body.
(45:01):
But I think with and evenmeditation, right, you could do
it every day.
But with the spinal energeticsit feels like a deeper kind of
release is happening or a deepersort of integration is
happening.
Amanda (45:14):
It goes deep.
Harmony (45:16):
Yeah, it's a bit like holotropic breathing.
Maybe you don't want to do itevery day.
Amanda (45:20):
Maybe you want to leave like a few days in between maybe
you want to leave like a fewdays in between, yeah, so, yeah,
yeah, you gotta space it out alittle bit more, yeah, yeah,
well, you, you went and gotcertified in toronto, yeah, um,
and it's a four-day class andI've done it a couple times now
level one, level two and then Ialso helped train level one
(45:43):
amazing, and that's my, my dream.
A lot happened.
Yeah, ooh, we should talk more.
Okay, it's a lot in four dayswhen you go to those Cause, you
know, usually you do 20 minutesof spinal energetics and then
you're good for a week or twobefore you can have another
session.
Harmony (46:02):
When we get trained, like you, yeah, You're in there
for like six hours eight hoursjust like in the energy in the
field of focus.
And yeah no, it was a lot, butI loved it I felt I was like I
just want to stay in this littlebubble here.
Amanda (46:32):
I know it felt like home .
It felt, yeah, everything wasamazing with it.
Um, but hey, maybe we cancreate our own.
Maybe we can create our ownfour day retreat and our own
yeah, Filled with it That'd beamazing.
Speaker 3 (46:40):
Do it more often.
Amanda (46:43):
Okay, cool, we're already collaborating.
Let's go.
Yes, let's do it.
Amazing, okay.
So anything else that you wantto share, anything that you want
to leave the audience withbefore we close this
conversation.
Harmony (46:59):
I don't know.
Just keep doing your work.
I don't know.
I think, sometimes we want allthe answers, or we want to know
the right way or the rightdirection or the right thing to
do, and you know there justreally isn't a right way.
There's lots of ways and lotsof directions and lots of things
to do, and so, just I think,the more you can tune in to your
(47:20):
essence, to your heart or yourmind, you know to, to those
centers of knowing in your body,your gut, the more the you know
.
The bread comes up here.
You can just follow the steps.
You don't need to know.
You know a hundred steps ahead.
(47:42):
You can just keep going step bystep, and and you'll keep
moving forward, if you're ifyou're tuned into doing your
work and staying true toyourself.
Amanda (47:52):
So I love that.
I I think a lot of people canresonate with that and like
being in alignment with what youwant to do, because I think
it's really easy to fall off andbe like oh well, becky says I
should do this or I should dothat, that's how I should make a
million dollars.
But how you make it is going tobe completely different from
(48:15):
how somebody else makes it right.
You might be more aligned withtwerking or something.
I don't know I do.
I literally have a businessfriend.
She was my mentor and then weworked together a couple of
times.
She like her, her jam wastwerking, she kills it and
(48:37):
business, but that's just whoshe is and she shares that on
social media.
She works her booty and thatworks, you know know.
Harmony (48:43):
So find what works for you yeah, if it's aligned, if
it's aligned for you, then itwill work if it's not aligned,
it won't work yeah, and and it'seven like making money.
I mean, you know, sometimes Ithink we have these numbers in
our head like I need to make amillion dollars, but maybe you
don't need to make a milliondollars, maybe what you really
want is to have time freedom ortravel freedom, or and you don't
(49:05):
need to make a million dollars.
Maybe what you really want is tohave time freedom or travel
freedom, or, and you don't needto have a million dollars for
that, you know.
Amanda (49:10):
Yeah, so true, so true.
Yeah, I think I see some of therichest people in the world are
the ones with no money andthey're traveling the world and
living their life and theyfigure it out as they go, versus
having a million dollars cashin the bank Exactly Incredible

Thank you, I'm doing great.
How are you doing, amanda?
Amanda (01:59):
Amazing, amazing.
So we just learned that we'reboth mountain girls.
Harmony (02:04):
she's up in Canada the Rocky Mountain team here on the
podcast today.
Amanda (02:10):
That's right, guys, the Rocky Mountain chicks, let's go.
Rocky Mountain high baby okayso, harmony, tell us a little
bit about you.
Where just more about your work, maybe your story?
Let's just kind of dive rightin.
I'm so curious to learn more.
Sure.
Harmony (02:28):
Yeah, I mean it was interesting, it is very, I don't
know.
It felt like destiny to bedrawn into Spinal Energetics and
into this work, because Ireally resonated so much with Dr
Sarah Jane and her story,because it felt very similar to
my story as well.
I did a degree in religiousstudies focused on Buddhism, did
(02:51):
a degree in philosophy and evenjust before I I mean I
graduated but I didn't go to mygraduation I took off to India
to go, live in India for fourmonths.
Then I moved to Thailand.
Oh, you went to Thailand to golive in India for four months.
Amanda (03:06):
Then I moved to Thailand .
Oh, you went to Thailand.
Yeah, where in Thailand?
Where in?
Harmony (03:08):
Thailand were you.
I lived on Koh Samui.
Amanda (03:11):
Oh, I love Koh Samui, so we went back twice, both for
four weeks at a time to Koh PingYang, the island right above,
yeah.
Harmony (03:21):
I know Koh Ping Yang, oh, so cool.
So I spent a lot of time inasia and then, from thailand, I
could travel back and forthbetween india and thailand,
because it's only a five-hourflight and the flights are cheap
.
So I'd go and spend, you know,six months, four months, six
months, however long I couldmanage in india studying and
practicing yoga and studyingmore philosophy and sans
(03:43):
Sanskrit and chanting andpranayama and breathwork and
everything.
Amanda (03:48):
So cool, so please tell me if I'm saying this correctly
it's Ashtanga yoga.
Yes, ashtanga yoga, ashtanga.
Okay, I'll work on that, butcan you tell us a little bit
more about what that is.
Harmony (04:02):
Yeah, so I mean Ashtanga means eight limbs and
it comes this word comes fromthe Patanjali Yoga Sutras, which
is an ancient text on yogawritten by Patanjali around the
turn of the century.
But this particular style ofyoga that's branded Ashtanga
Yoga even though you can'treally brand something that
because the terms already beenused comes from Patabi Joyce,
(04:33):
who was a guru or a teacher inMysore, india.
So he was there teaching, andnow his grandson, sharath Joyce,
is there still teaching classesand has an institute where you
can go and study and learn andpractice.
Amanda (04:44):
Wow, and you've been doing this for 25 years, yeah, a
long time, okay.
So you know your shit, you knowwhat's up.
Harmony (04:53):
It's kind of been like my entire life.
Amanda (04:57):
Amazing, amazing, and you teach it as well for other
people to become this type ofyoga instructor.
Harmony (05:04):
Yeah, I used to do teacher trainings.
I don't do teacher trainings somuch anymore because I sort of
have some other interests, youknow like spinal energetics or
kind of fill us in a little bit.
Amanda (05:16):
What do you do now?
Harmony (05:17):
Yeah, like spinal energetics, which I love, and I
feel like this is a reallyhealing modality.
I think it blends really wellwith yoga.
But also I do more like life andbusiness coaching for spiritual
entrepreneurs or, you know,women who want to build their
business and kind of help themdo that, because I used to own
two yoga studios and then now Ibasically, when I do teach, I
(05:40):
travel and teach internationally, workshops and retreats, so
that's where you would find meteaching yoga.
I have an online membership andthen do coaching online as well
.
Wow, basically like both anin-person and online business.
Amanda (05:55):
Okay.
So it's interesting because Istarted out life and business
coaching and now I'm doing moreof like the healing work.
Now I'm so curious, like doingboth with it.
Have you found that the missinglink, especially for like
entrepreneurs this is just frommy own experience, like people
(06:17):
that are struggling with mindsetor just they're struggling to
succeed and just grow theirbusiness that a lot of times
it's more a somatic problem,perhaps something within the
body, something they're holdingonto subconsciously, something
that they're wired.
I'd love to hear from you kindof your take and like yeah, 100%
(06:38):
.
Harmony (06:38):
So the way that I mostly do coaching is very
similar.
You would love it because it'svery similar to spinal
energetics.
You know where you're workingwith the layers.
So we have sorry, we have ourphysical body and then you know
an emotional body, a mental body, spiritual body, personal soul.
Well, also when I like when I'mcoaching, I use different tools
(07:04):
.
So there's like mindset toolsthis is more like questioning
your thoughts or your beliefs.
Emotional mastery tools, sothat's like really tuning into
the feeling, and mostly thathappens through the somatic
awareness, so like where we'reholding pains in our body or
different sensations.
When you kind of go into adeeper meditative state and be
(07:26):
with those sensations, oftenthere's a message there for you
or a memory or a feeling andthen allowing that feeling,
tapping into that feelingthrough the sensation.
So using a somatic presencing totap into the emotional body, to
let the emotional body comethrough and then meeting it with
(07:48):
essence or presence or love oracceptance, so that you can
really let it kind of diffuse,let that energy move through the
body and diffuse.
Then the unconscious block orthe upper limitation starts to
go away and then your energy isclear and can move freely.
(08:08):
So I find they work really welltogether, because with the
spinal energetics you can dothat without necessarily talking
about it.
Whereas with coaching.
You're more talking about itand giving it words and language
.
Amanda (08:22):
Yeah, so true, I think they compliment each other so
beautifully.
I personally haven't coached asmuch because I have just found
the spinal energetics just doesit.
It does the coaching for mesometimes.
But there I feel like coachingstill has its place for sure.
That is so awesome and socomprehensive, like it just
(08:44):
feels very complete.
Just kind of tap into.
All of.
That kind of reminds me of howto manifest, right.
It's not just uh in the mind,but getting into the body and
feeling the emotion behind whatit is that you want to create,
right.
I don't know if you do a lot ofmanifestation.
Yeah, it's too.
Harmony (09:01):
Yeah, totally, totally and I mean, what kind of drew me
into this work was because I'dbeen in the yoga field for so
long and worked with manystudents and teachers of yoga
and very, very dedicatedpractitioners, even within
myself.
Because you do a really intense, because Ashtanga Yoga is quite
(09:25):
an intense yoga practice.
It's a dynamic kind of vinyasaflow-based practice, but it has
a bit of a structure around itwhere you're supposed to do it
six days a week.
You follow the same sequence.
It's quite hardcore, and so youyeah, so the students really
dive into this practice.
Often you would think thatthey'd be really connected to
(10:07):
their body and their nervoussystem, but almost sometimes it
takes them a little bit longerbecause of this sort of
disconnect that's happening,this mind-body dichotomy, rather
than this integration.
It's like doing such intensethings to your body and I don't
know I haven't worked with any,like you know, athletes like
(10:30):
marathon runners or like reallyactive people, but it might be a
similar kind of thing where youfeel?
Amanda (10:35):
like it is yeah.
Harmony (10:36):
Yeah, so intense with your body that you you almost
kind of have to dissociate alittle bit from it because you
can't allow yourself to reallyfeel that deeper kind of
vibration or that sort of levelof trauma that you're inflicting
on yourself to get the resultsyou want.
Amanda (10:55):
Yeah, you definitely have to create safety first
right Like it's.
It's, I think, dissociation,that free state.
I mean I had two clients thismorning who were both thawing
out from a free state andfeeling for the first time in
(11:15):
their feet and their hands.
They're like, oh, I didn't knowthat sensation.
Was there Interesting?
Harmony (11:21):
Yeah, yeah, interesting , yeah, yeah, and it's so
interesting to see, like to seethat sort of awareness drop into
the body at deeper layers andlevels.
Amanda (11:35):
That's incredible.
That's incredible, okay.
So I don't mean to like cut youoff on your story, so kind of
like going back.
So so you went to India, youbecame an Ashtanga.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Ashtanga yoga teacher .
Amanda (11:52):
Um, back in, it looks like 2006, and then you began
traveling and teachinginternationally.
Tell us about what's.
What else has been going onsince then?
Yeah, so you told us about theworkshops and the retreats and
stuff yeah, so that's mostly.
Harmony (12:06):
What I'm doing now is traveling internationally
between like 2006, when Ireceived authorization there's
sort of authorization which islevel one, and then
certification, which is an evenmore in-depth process of having
to spend at least 10 yearspracticing at this specific
institute under the the sort ofmentorship or lineage of patavi
(12:28):
joyce or charotte joyce now um,but I went and moved back to
canada and moved to the westcoast and opened a yoga school
there and gave birth to my son.
So that was like a wholejourney into motherhood and
running a business, a brick andmortar business, and teaching,
and you know that's where wewere doing a lot of the teacher
(12:50):
trainings and different.
Amanda (12:52):
What was that like?
I'm not a mother?
Well, I have dogs, but thatdoesn't count.
Some argue yes to that.
Thank you.
I just never want to offendlike a mom.
So I'm like so what was thatlike building a business and
being a mother?
I mean, you seem like a jack ofall trades because you do the
(13:14):
yoga, you do breath work toretreat spinal energetics,
coaching, life like everything.
You just do everything.
What is?
Harmony (13:22):
that like yeah, I'm kind that like putting it all
into one, one thing now like aholistic kind of package to help
people but yeah, I mean being a.
I mean, oh man, it's a.
It's a paradigm shift.
I don't know how else toexplain it.
You know, you think that you'reselfless, or you're spiritual,
(13:43):
or you know you're on the pathto enlightenment, and then all
you have to do is have a childand reality hits you in the face
oh god yeah, you realize like,oh, the world doesn't revolve
around me, and even though Ididn't think that I thought the
world revolved around me, Ireally know now that it revolves
(14:04):
around this other little being,because it feels like your
heart is existing outside ofyour body.
You know?
So you just you kind of?
Start circling the orbit ofsomeone else, which is beautiful
because it really is the mostpurest form of love and selfless
service and just like devotionreally, and so how has
(14:28):
motherhood taught you inbusiness?
Yeah, yeah, I mean, I thinkrunning a business and being a
mother is challenging, but alsoit gives a lot of energy to your
business because you're notjust doing it for yourself now.
Apartment and you know eatingrice and beans and avocado and
just like obsessed about my own.
You know spiritual practice anddevelopment, trying to create
(15:04):
the conditions of a monastery asbest as I could.
Amanda (15:07):
You know I swear, my dogs live better than I do.
I get it.
You want, yeah, you want tohave that place for your loved
ones, yeah.
Harmony (15:17):
Yeah, yeah.
But when you have a family or achild or you know dependents,
then you know they need things.
You can't really just likeexpect your son or your daughter
to live in a monastery whenthey're 10 or 12 years old and
want to explore the world and doactivities, and as a parent,
you really want to give themthose opportunities too, right?
(15:38):
So it gives a different kind offuel and passion to the work
that you're doing.
Amanda (15:46):
Real quick.
I'd like to express myheartfelt gratitude to all the
listeners of this podcast.
Your support means the world tome.
As you're aware, a stellarrating plays a vital role, not
just for the podcast success,but also in our collective
mission as change.
Makers.
By awarding us five stars, youempower us to continue spreading
love, knowledge, support andguidance to people worldwide.
(16:08):
Please take a brief moment togive this podcast a five-star
rating.
Thank you immensely Cool.
Yeah, I love that you're sayingthat because I feel like that's
a beautiful perspective being amother, because I used to hear
a lot of how I never have time,I have no energy to be working
(16:29):
on my business, and you took theopposite approach to it and it
fueled your business.
It gave you that energy tosucceed because he was your
reason from what it sounds like.
Harmony (16:43):
Yeah, totally yeah, yeah.
How old is he now?
Now he's almost 14.
Oh my God.
Wow, that's incredible so itshifts and it changes too.
Amanda (16:54):
Yeah, when they're.
Harmony (16:55):
when they're young, it requires a lot of kind of
intense focus, and then, whenthey get older, you have your
life come back to you in its ownway.
Amanda (17:07):
Amazing, amazing.
So you do breath work as well,and can you tell us a little bit
more about what type of breathwork that is?
Harmony (17:41):
Yeah, so mostly I started off with a pranayama
practice and can you tell us alittle bit more about what type
of breath work that is?
Pitwari practicing pranayama,which is long, slow breathing
with retentions, either at thetop or the bottom of an inhale
or an exhale, and practicinglearning the traditional methods
that were passed down throughhis teacher and his lineage,
which is at the KavalyadamInstitute in La Navala, india,
and that's mostly what I use tohelp people regulate their
nervous system.
But in the last five years I'vebeen diving a little bit more
(18:05):
into holotropic breathing, whichis the fast pace, either
three-part breath or just in andout, which I like to also use.
I think it goes really wellwith the spinal energetics.
So I like to incorporate alittle bit of that at the
beginning of a session,especially online, because what
it does is it actually shuts offthe prefrontal cortex.
(18:27):
Yeah, so it like down,regulates the prefrontal cortex.
You move more into your bodyand into your energy and so,
even though it's not a practicethat I personally would
recommend doing every day,because when you're breathing
that fast inhalation andexhalation in and out of your
mouth it can actually it causeslike a little bit of stress in
your body, right, but it's goodstress, but maybe not if you're
(18:51):
doing it every day.
Then it might become cumulativestress every day, then it might
become cumulative stress, soit's good for a
little like a little kick in thebutt, exactly, exactly Like a
little reset like a littlenervous system reset or a kick
in the butt, or yeah, like alittle intervention you know,
yeah, okay, yeah, yeah.
(19:12):
But then on a regular basis.
I would recommend doing more ofthe pranayama breathing which
is, you know, people now, Ithink, are more familiar with
this type of breath work.
You know, alternate nostrilbreathing or box breathing, or
just inhaling and exhaling andlengthening the exhale resonance
breathing.
There's many different types ofsort of long, slow breathing
(19:37):
exercises that are reallyhelpful for regulating the
nervous system.
Amanda (19:42):
Amazing and I saw here like you can use this breath
work to access connection toabundance.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Yeah, how do you do?
Amanda (19:52):
that Talk to us.
I'm sure everybody's like earsare peeled peeled right now like
tell us, how can we use thisbreath, breath work.
Harmony (20:01):
Wow, I can't talk tonight yeah, I love your light
language, thanks, but yeah, Ithink it's you know.
I think what happens is we getstuck in those patterns in our
(20:25):
brains, right?
Amanda (20:30):
Our neural networks get fixed and we know this right.
Harmony (20:32):
Like the scarcity patterns, no-transcript neural
(21:26):
network, and it opens up yourperception to see alternate
perspectives and alternatethings you know that you
wouldn't see normally or youwouldn't be open to normally.
And so when you are doing eithera pranayama practice regularly,
which is really tapping intoyour prana or your life force,
(21:47):
your energy, and starting tobecome quite acquainted with it
in your body, or you do evenholotropic breathing, is that
intervention?
It shuts down that part of yourbrain that is used to being in a
particular pattern and movesinto more of the limbic system
and the nervous system, the partwhere you know the autonomic
(22:10):
nervous system, and starts towake it up a little bit and
bring in some fresh you knowcirculation or create new neural
networks, new neuralconnections, so that when you
finish and then you'reintegrating, there's like more
flow happening, more things arebeing connected at a neural
(22:31):
level but also even in yourenergy.
But also even in your energyand that's why people you know
in spinal energetics or after abreathwork session will feel
like so expansive because theirmind has literally been open
right, like things that didn'tconnect before are now
connecting and so there's thatgreater sense of awareness and
(22:56):
the patterns that maybe thebrain was stuck in have been
disrupted, and so there's moreopportunity.
More possibility is just rightthere, like physically, in
manifestation as well, becausemanifesting is really to me,
(23:19):
it's really just being open tosee what's already there.
And the problem is, we don't seeit you know we don't see it,
because we only see what we'reexpecting or what we're used to
seeing, or what we're predictingto see.
And so the more we are able tokind of recognize that time is
an illusion, space is also anillusion, you know, physical
(23:44):
beings are also an illusion,physical things are also an
illusion, that it's all justenergy, then we can like feel
that connection and draw thingstowards us or move towards them
more easily.
Amanda (23:59):
So well said, and I love how you brought the science in.
I mean, if that doesn't provethe St Lulu, I don't know what
else is.
Harmony (24:09):
I mean, I'm not a scientist, but I do.
You know, I'm like apseudoscientist.
I like to study neurology andneuropsychology and things
because, it's so interesting.
Amanda (24:21):
Oh, it's so powerful, it's so good.
I mean, it's so true, though,on every level, everything that
you just shared, and it feelsvery similar to how spinal
energetics works.
Right, because I feel like alot of perspectives shift and
rewind and re-listen to how thatactually works within the brain
and the nervous system and thebody is one and yeah, so
(24:45):
powerful.
Really, essentially, the brainis opening up from what you're
sharing here.
Harmony (24:50):
Yeah, I read something today too, that the spinal cord
transmits messages at a speed ofsomething like 268 miles per
hour.
Huh, like the how fast theneurons move really those
electrical impulses from ourbrain to our spinal cord.
(25:11):
That's like, yeah, it was, itwas insane, I was insane, I was
like that's crazy to think about.
We have like nerve impulsesmoving through our spinal cord
at that speed.
Woo, yeah, it's amazing.
Amanda (25:26):
Lightning.
That's incredible.
I did not know that.
Thanks for the fun fact.
Harmony (25:31):
I just read it today I was like that's really that's
going to take me a bit to wrapmy head around.
Amanda (25:38):
I love it.
I love it.
Harmony (25:39):
Okay, so even for you, like in your work with people
and clients, I mean, I thinkit's so amazing when you are
working with someone on the, youknow, on a table or wherever,
on the floor, on a couch and andthey're having like those
tremor shakes and they're in adeep, altered state of you know
(26:03):
what might be meditation or sortof different brain waves and
they're so tuned into their bodybut their body's also releasing
in quite an intense way andafter there's like a visible
shift in how they look, how theyfeel like yeah, I mean like
(26:27):
what?
how?
How do you describe that?
How do you explain that topeople?
Amanda (26:31):
I'm just thinking of a client this morning like just
kept getting stuck in the solar,like over there in the lower
part of the spine, and then wejust lifted her hips up and then
literally, I mean, you know howyou can feel the energy in the
room and like, if it's, you know, good vibes, bad vibes it was
just like all of a sudden.
It was like instant relief.
I was like, ah, like, and youcould just see it like all their
(26:53):
muscles just relax, everythingjust looks like it's flowing
again, and even like the subtlechanges in their expression, in
their face, it's almost like alittle smile or all their facial
muscles are just like, ah, yeah, yeah, it's like a sigh of
relief, almost Totally.
Harmony (27:14):
Yeah, yeah, and I have some.
I mean mean and this is just atheory, but it's like a
curiosity around these patternsof releasing and how, like our
bodies also get stuck, just likeour brain gets stuck thinking
the same thoughts over and overand over again, but our bodies
also get stuck holding the samekind of like movement.
(27:37):
It's conditioned that way.
Amanda (27:38):
Yeah, depending on what one's been through.
I see it all the time in spinalenergetics client on the table
and you find the tension patternbeing stored in the body and
then they you know, in spinalenergetics you're pushing the
energy from anywhere in the bodyto that fixation point, to that
(27:58):
tension pattern, and whileyou're trying to move that
energy to that point, they willresist.
Their nervous system, if youwill, is conditioned to think
that's not safe, it's, it's,it's's like I don't know about
that, amanda, like I don't know.
(28:18):
This is just too much, right.
It just it's, it's, um, theunfamiliar right where we tend
to resist because we don't knowwhat's on the other side of it,
and but it ends up feeling verycathartic, right.
So, yeah, I see that resistanceall the time.
And so then it's likeinteresting, right when, when
(28:39):
somebody can, when that energyfinally moves and shifts and
that tension pattern clears,yeah, it opens up like an entire
different flow of energy oh,yeah, yeah, it's like a light
bulb goes off too, like it'sjust all these activations are
happening on a cellular DNAlevel and I see it like
(29:01):
sometimes I can actually likesee the energy happening and
it's just like lights going offinside the body, just like ding,
ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
Hello, abundance, baby, let'sgo.
Yeah, yeah.
Harmony (29:12):
Because it's really about flow right and connection,
and I think that I mean that'sso much of what we're trying to
(29:33):
do inside of ourselves.
This connection Is just createmore connection, create more
flow create more you know lessof this like heading and blocks
and tension patterns.
Amanda (29:45):
It is Well.
I feel like that's what healingis all about.
Right, healing, I feel like,kind of gives us this idea of
like you're releasing so muchstuff, but really it's about
connecting, reconnecting withyour highest frequency, your
truest self, your authentic,your gifts, your power,
everything about you.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Yeah, yeah.
Harmony (30:07):
Yeah, and I mean it's.
I love this because I thinkthat's also what coaching does.
You know, just like throughlanguage is with a client.
They I mean as a client or witha client.
You know we have places in ourlives and our thoughts and our
feelings, either with ourselvesor in our relationships, where
we're disconnected.
(30:39):
Go into, you know, the, theassumption of why someone is
going to be the way they'regoing to be, or you know those
are all places of disconnectionand so when you can work with
someone to uncover and have themlike, bring what is unconscious
because all these assumptionsare unconscious and all of these
ways of being and all of thesestories that we believe about
ourselves or others in the worldare mostly sitting in our
(31:00):
unconscious mind.
We, when we can bring itforward into the consciousness,
then we can see it and examineit or feel it and be with it,
and then we can createintegration and connection with
it and then, instead of it beinga place of disconnect, it gets
brought into the whole and thenwe have greater connection
(31:21):
within ourselves or in ourrelationships or in our lives.
Amanda (31:25):
Yeah, it changes everything around you Everything
.
Yeah, I'm curious, since we'reon the topic of abundance and
how to use breathwork to accessthat connection Do you get
clients that come to you like mygoal in business is to, I don't
know, make a million dollarsthis year.
What would be your step-by-stepbeat when it comes to this kind
(31:46):
of work?
Harmony (31:47):
Yeah, give me the 411.
Well, I mean, I guess, if youwanna create a million dollars,
my question would be well, why?
What's your motivation?
Yeah, do you want me?
Amanda (32:01):
to answer that yeah, Freedom right.
I think freedom is a big onefor most people because they
want the financial freedom,thinking it's going to give them
ease and calmness, like morepeace.
They won't have to worry andstress about money as much and
enjoy life more.
Harmony (32:22):
Yeah, okay.
So freedom, peace, calmness is.
Is the the reason why, or theessence of why, you want a
million dollars?
Okay?
So then I'd say and you can dothis right now because you
asked- Okay, let's do it.
Yes.
So if you just close your eyesand just take a nice deep breath
(32:47):
and as you exhale, just relax,just feel your energy, your
attention, where in your bodyyou can experience freedom right
now, when might there be asense of peace?
Speaker 3 (33:14):
Maybe it's just in your pinky finger, maybe it's in
your big toe, maybe it's inyour heart center, and just
breathe and allow that sense offreedom or peace Just expand and
(33:41):
grow, just move from cell tocell, so you feel as if your
whole energy is surrounded, justbeing held in a bubble, a
(34:05):
beautiful bubble of freedom,peace, and it's emanating from
within you and also you'rereceiving it around you.
You feel that in your body.
Amanda (34:26):
Oh yeah, I feel good, baby, yeah well, now that you
feel that yeah, you, you're freeI
mean, maybe, maybe you want amillion dollars, but you don't
need it yeah, oh, my god, I talkabout this all the time on the
(34:47):
podcast, how it's like I've hitso many different big financial
milestones in my business but itnever felt like enough, right.
And then I really tapped intolike okay, well, why?
And it's like, oh, because Iwant to fly first class or I
want to travel the world more.
I want the freedom, I want tobe able to buy things without
looking at the price tag.
And it's well, why do I wantall that?
(35:07):
And it's that feeling offreedom, it's that feeling of
peace.
And it's like well, why can't Ifeel that now?
You know, anybody can feel thatnow, anyone has access to the
feeling of freedom, calmness,security, right here, right now.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Yeah, nothing's going to change.
Harmony (35:24):
It's your essence, it is it's who you are, yeah, and
so the more we can like get intothat space of who we are, then
it's easier to create from thatplace too, right?
Amanda (35:38):
Oh yeah.
Harmony (35:39):
Because the goal isn't out there.
The goal is already presenthere, and so then we're free.
We're truly free to go for itif we want, but we also can go
for it with a sense ofplayfulness or lightness,
knowing that it doesn't reallymatter and we don't need it to
be happy or to be free, or toexperience peace because, that's
(36:00):
already who we are, and we canexperience that anytime we want.
Amanda (36:05):
Yeah, I swear I make the most money when I'm having a
good time.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
I know right, and then we forget and we're like oh
, it's so hard.
Amanda (36:13):
I know why do we?
Yeah, it's like I hate that.
It's like one of my worstfavorite sayings of like oh,
business is so hard, it's sodifficult, so difficult.
I'm like that's a perspectiveyou can have.
Fun.
Business is fun.
Business can feel easy.
Uh, like we're selling ourhouse right now.
We just closed the other dayand I don't feel stressed out at
(36:35):
all and I've sold many housesin my days and this is the first
time after doing so muchnervous system work where I it's
, I feel good, I feel excited, Ifeel free, like I'm just like I
don't know, I'm not likeworried about having to pack my
whole house this week.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
We're good, yeah yeah , you can do it.
Amanda (36:56):
Yeah, I have no idea where we're gonna live.
Like I'm like you know whateverything's gonna work out, I
don't know.
It's just a really cool senseof just feeling confident and
assured.
Harmony (37:08):
Um, I feel like this is the same, yeah testament to the
work that that you do and thatyou're doing for yourself, and
also the work that you'reoffering other people as well,
because we're alwaysco-regulating too right.
So yeah our clients come andthey co-regulate with us, but we
also create that space for theco-regulation.
(37:29):
So we have to kind of be inthat essence in order to
facilitate.
So yeah you know it's the workyou're doing on yourself, but
also holding the space for yourclients, too, is yeah also
helping you to.
You know, step into that yeahand own it.
Amanda (37:47):
I just had a vision of like everyone listening to this
episode right now.
They're gonna come back to you,harmony, in a year.
We're like, hey, I just had amillion dollars because they
just did that exercise every day.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Good send me a testimonial.
Yes, send the testimonials.
Amanda (38:02):
Let let's go.
You'll be hearing from me too.
Let's rock and roll.
Harmony (38:05):
Amazing Living in Montana.
Amanda (38:09):
Yeah, we'll see what happens.
Yeah, as of right now, we'renot going to Montana, but I was
joking with Harmony at thebeginning of this.
We're going up there for acouple of weeks to go hunting,
my husband and I, and we keepjoking like we may not come back
.
But but you never know, yeah,you never know.
(38:29):
Uh, wow, okay, so so you doretreats?
Oh wait, okay, 10 silent.
Vipa sauna, vipashna, oh God,wow, somebody put me in yoga
class please it's the sanskrit.
Harmony (38:50):
It's the sanskrit, and um no, I I mean that was another
thing that I really resonatedwith, uh dr sarah jane with was.
She's also a vipassanameditator and did a lot of
Vipassana silent retreats.
So it was.
It just felt like such a fitbecause when you're sitting
there for 10 days withouttalking to anyone, without
(39:14):
speaking, without writing,without reading, just meditating
for 10 hours a day.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
Oh, it is silent silent.
Harmony (39:21):
Yeah, and not even eye contact or any like physical
contact, like no communicationat all with anyone else.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
Wow.
Harmony (39:30):
And you're just doing yoga, you just sit and meditate,
that's oh, you sit and watchyour breath, so that's called
anapana meditation.
And then you observe yourenergy through subtle sensations
in the body.
Amanda (39:44):
Oh whoa, oh man.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
Yeah.
Amanda (39:47):
I'm already thinking like do I, could I do that?
Speaker 3 (39:51):
You totally could.
Amanda (39:53):
Well, I've worked my way up.
I was one of those meditatorsthat 10 seconds I'm out.
I'm much better now.
Yeah, like I can meditate forhours now, but 10 days.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
Yeah.
Harmony (40:08):
Wow yeah you go real deep.
Amanda (40:11):
Oh, I bet what's the experience like, for so you
teach this or you used to hostthese types of retreats.
Harmony (40:18):
Mostly I've just sat them, I mean.
I do teach some Vipassanameditation and I offer moon day
meditations, full and new moonmeditations in my Finding
Harmony community.
But, yeah, I don't do.
I don't typically offer thesilent retreats because it's a,
(40:38):
it's a lot for people Is it Okay.
And also I mean I feel likethere's a whole institute called
the Vipassana organization andthey have so many centers around
the world and it's all donationbased and I mean they just do
such a good job.
I just send people there.
(40:59):
Go sit there for 10 days if youwant.
Amanda (41:02):
Oh my gosh.
Okay, so, out of all of thesemodalities that you have under
your tool belt, what is yourfavorite?
Are you allowed to share afavorite Like what have you
found maybe to be the mosthelpful, most impactful?
Harmony (41:21):
I mean, what's interesting I think about them
all is they're all reallysomatic practices.
Yeah they're all really aboutregulating the nervous system,
but also tapping into energy andobserving the subtle energy
body, and so I feel like youknow, with the yoga you get so
(41:42):
far where you kind of are likeoh yeah, subtle energy body.
I kind of get that, but you'removing and you're breathing
while you're doing it, so themind can only get so refined.
And then with the pranayama itgets more refined because now
you're sitting in one place andyou're just using the breath, so
you get to go more deeper intoit.
(42:04):
And with meditation again,especially if you're doing a 10
day meditation, not just 10minutes your mind gets really
concentrated and so you reallyget acquainted with the energy
body.
So I think it's just differentlevels and layers and depending
on where a client is or where astudent is, you know they're
(42:27):
going to want to kind of eithergo deeper or be like oh, this is
good for me, I'm good up herewith the yoga right.
But typically I think at somepoint you start to want to go a
little bit deeper into thepranayama or the breath work and
then deeper into the meditationand the subtle energy body, and
(42:48):
I think spinal energetics is abeautiful way for people who
maybe, you know, don't have 20years to devote to, you know,
doing yoga and breath work andmeditation and doing all of
these somatic nervous system,you know, regulation practices.
I think it's a really effectiveway to shortcut the process,
(43:14):
because it's I don't know youjust drop into that meditative
state and your body, you can't,I don't know.
For me, in my experience as aclient, you can't help but
notice the subtle energy body,and I think all of my clients,
even if they're just like, oh, Ifeel really spacious.
(43:36):
I mean, that's your subtleenergy body, you know.
So the more you kind of areable to tap into it, the more
acquainted you get with it, andI think it's, I just feel like
it's so powerful.
So, yeah, kind of my newfavorite.
Speaker 3 (43:55):
I love it.
Amanda (43:57):
I love it.
I love it.
Yeah, I mean it's.
It's definitely my favorite,and there's nothing against any
of the other modalities.
They all have their place Right.
And I think it depends on theclient too, because, you know,
depending on what level they'reat in their healing journey or
what you know where they are intheir journey, maybe breath work
(44:17):
is the better option right now,Maybe yoga is the better option
right now.
You know, I don't think there'sany right or wrong or better
modality than the other, but Imean for me right now and
obviously for harmony you cantell what our favorites are
Harmony (44:37):
yeah, well, and I think it's.
I mean, there's something toolike yoga you could do every day
and yeah, you know, pranayamaor breathwork you can do every
day.
And because they're self kindof administered, say, right,
like you're, you're doing apractice to create a level of
regulation or a feeling of calmor connectedness in your body.
(45:01):
But I think with and evenmeditation, right, you could do
it every day.
But with the spinal energeticsit feels like a deeper kind of
release is happening or a deepersort of integration is
happening.
Amanda (45:14):
It goes deep.
Harmony (45:16):
Yeah, it's a bit like holotropic breathing.
Maybe you don't want to do itevery day.
Amanda (45:20):
Maybe you want to leave like a few days in between maybe
you want to leave like a fewdays in between, yeah, so, yeah,
yeah, you gotta space it out alittle bit more, yeah, yeah,
well, you, you went and gotcertified in toronto, yeah, um,
and it's a four-day class andI've done it a couple times now
level one, level two and then Ialso helped train level one
(45:43):
amazing, and that's my, my dream.
A lot happened.
Yeah, ooh, we should talk more.
Okay, it's a lot in four dayswhen you go to those Cause, you
know, usually you do 20 minutesof spinal energetics and then
you're good for a week or twobefore you can have another
session.
Harmony (46:02):
When we get trained, like you, yeah, You're in there
for like six hours eight hoursjust like in the energy in the
field of focus.
And yeah no, it was a lot, butI loved it I felt I was like I
just want to stay in this littlebubble here.
Amanda (46:32):
I know it felt like home .
It felt, yeah, everything wasamazing with it.
Um, but hey, maybe we cancreate our own.
Maybe we can create our ownfour day retreat and our own
yeah, Filled with it That'd beamazing.
Speaker 3 (46:40):
Do it more often.
Amanda (46:43):
Okay, cool, we're already collaborating.
Let's go.
Yes, let's do it.
Amazing, okay.
So anything else that you wantto share, anything that you want
to leave the audience withbefore we close this
conversation.
Harmony (46:59):
I don't know.
Just keep doing your work.
I don't know.
I think, sometimes we want allthe answers, or we want to know
the right way or the rightdirection or the right thing to
do, and you know there justreally isn't a right way.
There's lots of ways and lotsof directions and lots of things
to do, and so, just I think,the more you can tune in to your
(47:20):
essence, to your heart or yourmind, you know to, to those
centers of knowing in your body,your gut, the more the you know
.
The bread comes up here.
You can just follow the steps.
You don't need to know.
You know a hundred steps ahead.
(47:42):
You can just keep going step bystep, and and you'll keep
moving forward, if you're ifyou're tuned into doing your
work and staying true toyourself.
Amanda (47:52):
So I love that.
I I think a lot of people canresonate with that and like
being in alignment with what youwant to do, because I think
it's really easy to fall off andbe like oh well, becky says I
should do this or I should dothat, that's how I should make a
million dollars.
But how you make it is going tobe completely different from
(48:15):
how somebody else makes it right.
You might be more aligned withtwerking or something.
I don't know I do.
I literally have a businessfriend.
She was my mentor and then weworked together a couple of
times.
She like her, her jam wastwerking, she kills it and
(48:37):
business, but that's just whoshe is and she shares that on
social media.
She works her booty and thatworks, you know know.
Harmony (48:43):
So find what works for you yeah, if it's aligned, if
it's aligned for you, then itwill work if it's not aligned,
it won't work yeah, and and it'seven like making money.
I mean, you know, sometimes Ithink we have these numbers in
our head like I need to make amillion dollars, but maybe you
don't need to make a milliondollars, maybe what you really
want is to have time freedom ortravel freedom, or and you don't
(49:05):
need to make a million dollars.
Maybe what you really want is tohave time freedom or travel
freedom, or, and you don't needto have a million dollars for
that, you know.
Amanda (49:10):
Yeah, so true, so true.
Yeah, I think I see some of therichest people in the world are
the ones with no money andthey're traveling the world and
living their life and theyfigure it out as they go, versus
having a million dollars cashin the bank Exactly Incredible
